Introduction

Inaugurated in 2004 this training program has been designed to take candidates through the key processes involved in identifying hazards and analysing and assessing the risks that they may encounter at their workplace. The program provides candidates with the learning skills to put these concepts to work by observing actual workplace situations.

Candidates are encouraged to use their observation skills to recognise hazards, to assess their consequences and to develop action plans for their elimination.
